While Apple does not push the updates to the App Store as much as some of us would like, doing a refresh gesture can maximize the app updates that are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two Refresh Gesture Techniques<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, get the screens attention by touching a random area on the screen or page you want to refresh, then use one of the following gestures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The single finger double tap and hold then slide down and let go.<\/li><li>The 3 finger pull down. This is my fav.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One area in particular that these gestures work nicely is in the App Store. Note: If you have App Updates set to automatic, this will not be necessary. To change or to set up auto app updating, see below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When checking for app updates,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Single finger double tap on the App Store icon.<\/li><li>On the Today screen, single finger swipe left to right one time to My Account. Note: if you do not land on the Today screen when opening the App Store, Single finger double tap on the Today tab in the tab bar at the bottom left corner&nbsp;&nbsp;of the screen. Then single finger swipe left to right one time to My account.<\/li><li>Single finger double tap on My Account<\/li><li>Single finger Swipe left to right down to, \u201cAvailable Updates\u201d or \u201cUpdated Recently\u201d.<\/li><li>Refresh the screen by doing either the single finger double tap and hold then slide down and release, or, do the 3 finger swipe down from the top and release.<\/li><li>Note: the number of available updates may appear or increase significantly if updates are available.<\/li><li>You can use these gestures to refresh web sites in Safari or other apps. Whilst the Safari Address\/Tab bar has now been adapted with a refresh button, giving us another method of conducting a refresh.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To change your app update settings from or to Automatic do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to settings and single finger double tap.<\/li><li>Single finger swipe left to right down to App Store and single finger double tap.<\/li><li>Single finger swipe left to right down past the Automatic Downloads heading.<\/li><li>Single finger double tap on Apps to on or off.<\/li><li>Single finger swipe left to right once&nbsp;&nbsp;more down to App Updates.<\/li><li>Single finger double tap to turn App Updates on or off.<\/li><li>Single finger swipe left to right past Cellular Data heading.<\/li><li>Single finger double tap on Automatic Downloads on or off.<\/li><li>If choosing to turn on cellular Data for Automatic Downloads, single finger swipe left to right one more time down to \u201cApp Downloads, Ask if over 200 mb\u201d and single finger double tap to turn on or off.<\/li><li>Single finger swipe left to right down to, \u201cVideo Auto-Play\u201d, single finger double tap to turn on or off.<\/li><li>Single finger swipe down to, \u201cIn-App Ratings and Revues\u201d. Single finger double tap to turn on or off.<\/li><li>Swipe down to, \u201cOff-load Unused Apps\u201d, single finger double tap to turn on or off.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contact Your State Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you reside in Minnesota, and you would like to know more about Transition Services from State Services contact Transition Coordinator Sheila Koenig by&nbsp;<a>email<\/a>&nbsp;or contact her via phone at 651-539-2361.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can follow us on Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/blindabilities\">@BlindAbilities<\/a><br>On the web at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blindabilities.com\/\">www.BlindAbilities.com<\/a><br>Send us an&nbsp;<a>email<\/a><br>Get the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/blind-abilities\/id1085849859?l=es&amp;mt=8\">Free Blind Abilities App&nbsp;on the App Store<\/a>and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.blindabilities.android.blind&amp;hl=en_US\">Google Play Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give us a call and leave us some feedback at 612-367-9063 we would love to hear from you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/607027582712671\/\">Blind Abilities Community<\/a>on Facebook, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BlindAbilities\/\">Blind Abilities Page<\/a>, and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/jobinsightsgroup\">Career Resources for the Blind and Visually Impaired<\/a>&nbsp;group<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!--powerpress_player--><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_2442\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-7019-3\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/blindabilities\/AppStorePull2Refresh.mp3?_=3\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/blindabilities\/AppStorePull2Refresh.mp3\">https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/blindabilities\/AppStorePull2Refresh.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p>https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/blindabilities\/AppStorePull2Refresh.mp3 Podcast Summary: In this iPhone101 Quickbyte, Jeff Thompson dives into the App Store Refresh and then tours the App Store Settings.
